House search for Sharlinie extends beyond 5km radius
PETALING JAYA: Police have extended their house-to-house search for missing five-year-old Sharlinie Mohd Nashar beyond the 5km radius.
Petaling Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Arjunaidi Mohamed said that apart from searching constructions sites, kongsis and abandoned buildings, police were also looking for the girl at high-rise buildings, including flats and apartments and luxury homes.
“The public should not be unduly worried as we will only check luxury homes that we believe need to be checked based on our intelligence reports,” he said yesterday.
ACP Arjunaidi said that despite the expansion of the area of search, policewould recheck premises they had gone earlier as the abductor could go back to the buildings thinking that police would not check them again.
“We will not stop until Sharlinie is found. Our men are on the lookout round-the-clock.
“What we need is information leading to the girl's whereabouts and again, I urge the public to call us if they have information on her,” he said.
ACP Arjunaidi also urged the public to stop spreading rumours that Sharlinie has been found in Ulu Yam and her DNA samples sent for testing.
“This is not true. I am warning all irresponsible individuals not to spread rumours or lies. Please respect the feelings of the family,” he said.
ACP Arjunaidi said police carried out a search at the SEA Park area yesterday.
A team comprising General Operations Force (GOF) personnel, police officers and a forensic unit detained 74 illegal immigrants, including five women, for not having any valid travel documents.
He said the illegal immigrants were handed over to the Immigration Department for further action, adding that police had detained 185 of them for committing various offences under the Immigration Act since the first day of the search operation.
Sharlinie went missing after going to a playground near her PJS2 home in Taman Medan on Jan 9.
ACP Arjunaidi said that police were still waiting for the Chemistry Department to conclude the tests on the doll, which was found near her home on Jan 12.
